Trump said tariffs will be the "greatest thing we've ever done as a country."
President Donald Trump is defending his decision to pause some tariffs to Canada and Mexico for another month -- a notable reversal after imposing historic levies on the key U.S. trading partners earlier this week, causing markets to tumble.
On Friday, Trump signed more executive orders at the White House before he convened a first-ever cryptocurrency summit with industry leaders.
In a press conference, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she would speak with President Donald Trump about tariffs on Monday.
Sheinbaum said her meetings in the U.S. "went very well," but urged "patience" as a plan is finalized.
"We have made a great effort to collaborate and coordinate, but it depends on the United States," she said.

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency updated its website overnight with new figures, now claiming to have saved $105 billion. However, the figure remains unverifiable and the site claims to have posted only 30% of the receipts supporting this total.
According to the website, all "contract, grant, and lease cancellations" posted account for just 30% of the claimed total savings.
"We are working to upload all of our receipts in a digestible and transparent manner consistent with applicable rules and regulations," the website states. It also claims to have saved $652.17 per taxpayer.

The Senate is expected to vote on Monday afternoon to confirm Linda McMahon as the secretary of the Department of Education.
After months of anticipation, President Donald Trump could soon sign an executive order that directs the education secretary to spearhead the closing of the federal agency.
As previously reported by ABC News, sources say the order will call for McMahon to submit a proposal to diminish the agency and direct Congress to pass legislation that gets rid of it. However, Trump's directive will be illegal without congressional approval, according to experts. Any proposed legislation would likely fail without 60 Senate votes.
